Step-by-step explanation:

4qt=1gal

8qt=2gal

percent of b=a

x%times b=a

x%=a/b

x%=2/8

x%=1/4=25%

answer" 25%.

What are the roots of the function f(x) = x2 + 2x – 1? a. x = ± √ _ 2 b. x = − 1 ± √ _ 2 c. x = 2 ± √ _ 2 d. x = 1 ± √ _ 2

Masteriza [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Root of the function, where y = 0

f(x) = x² + 2x - 1

0 = x² + 2x - 1

x² + 2x - 1 = 0

x² + 2x = 1

x² + 2x + 1 = 1 + 1

(x + 1)² = 2

x + 1 = ±√2

x = -1 ± √2

Roots → x = -1 ± √2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

both angles must add up to 180 so

6x+12+3x+63 must =180

= 9x+75

9x+75=180

-75 -75

9x=105

x=11.66

meaning A is approximately 81.96

How many terms are in the arithmetic sequence shown below? 15, 7, -1, -9...,-225

NemiM [27]

We know that

We can write an Arithmetic Sequence as a rule:

an = a1 + d(n−1)

where

a1 = the first term
d =the "common difference" between terms

in this problem
a1=15 a2=7 a3=-1 a4=-9 ..... an=-225
d=a2-a1
d=7-15-----> d=-8

an = a1 + d(n−1)
for
an=-225
d=-8
a1=15
find n
-225=15+(-8)*(n-1)--> (n-1)=[-225-15]/-8----> n-1=30---> n=30+1---> n=31

the answer is
31

In an examination of purchasing patterns of shoppers, a sample of 16 shoppers revealed that they spent, on average, $54 per hour

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

$54-1.64\frac{21}{\sqrt{16}}=45.39$

$54 +1.64\frac{21}{\sqrt{16}}=62.61$

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (45.39;62.61)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=54$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=21$ represent the sample standard deviation

n=16 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=1-0.9=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.05,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.64$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$54-1.64\frac{21}{\sqrt{16}}=45.39$

$54 +1.64\frac{21}{\sqrt{16}}=62.61$

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (45.39;62.61)

A laundry basket contains 8 white t-shirts and 6 black t-shirts. What is the probability of randomly picking a black t-shirt fro

MissTica

Answer:

30/182 = 15/91.

Step-by-step explanation:

PROBABILITY: the likelihood of an event.

There are a total of 14 shirts in the basket.

Of the 14, 8 (8/14) of them are white, and 6 (6/14) of them are black.

The probability of picking a black shirt is 6 in 14, or 6/14.

The probability of picking a white shirt is 8 in 14, or 8/14.

WITHOUT REPLACING: This means that you take one without putting it back. (There will be one less).

6/14 × 5/13 = 30/182.

30/182 = 15/91.
